Medical Xpress / Smartphone data predict smoking cravings and lapses, with potential to treat addiction and other conditions
Minuscule movement patterns collected from smartphones and often undetectable to humans have been used to predict cravings and compulsive behaviors with groundbreaking accuracy—potentially offering timely and bespoke treatment ...
Tech Xplore / Robotic collective flows like matter, adapting without centralized control
Cornell engineers have developed a robotic collective that behaves less like a machine and more like a material that flows, reshapes, and adapts to its environment without centralized control. The system, called the Cross-Link ...
Tech Xplore / Holographic light engine boosts tissue-like 3D printing efficiency by 70 times
In 2025, EPFL scientists published an improved approach to tomographic volumetric additive manufacturing (TVAM): a 3D printing method that uses laser light to harden a rotating vial of photosensitive resin into a desired ...
Phys.org / Do you know how cynical your friends are?
New research from Michigan State University finds that people often project their own levels of cynicism—the belief that people are only interested in themselves and aren't sincere—onto their friends and consistently underestimate ...
Medical Xpress / Simple blood test could catch Alzheimer's and Parkinson's early by spotting misfolded proteins
For the first time, therapeutically effective medications are now available for Alzheimer's disease. Effective symptomatic therapies also exist for Parkinson's disease; however, a prerequisite for successful treatment is ...
Medical Xpress / Brain's 'tumor hotspots' uncovered in fruit fly study
New research from Peter Mac has uncovered why some parts of the brain may be more vulnerable to tumor growth than others, offering new clues into how brain cancers begin and how they could one day be stopped. Published in ...
Medical Xpress / Decoding inflammatory bowel disease—on a chip
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which comprises the inflammatory conditions Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, affects about 1.6 million Americans, many of whom cannot be effectively treated. This is mostly due to ...
Phys.org / Less low cloud cover lets in more heat from the sun—and may lock in centuries of sea level rise
According to NOAA, the global average sea level has risen 8–9 inches (21–24 centimeters) since 1880. The rate at which the sea level is rising is increasing, threatening coastal cities and ecosystems around the world.
Medical Xpress / Scientists identify brain circuit that helps us 'change gears'
Most people have experienced the feeling: switching from one task to another, only to find the brain momentarily stuck in the old mode of thinking. Sometimes, even after realizing a strategy no longer works, the mind keeps ...
Tech Xplore / Why the US EV battery supply still depends on imports despite domestic mining push
As electric vehicle (EV) adoption grows in the United States and globally, the demand for EV batteries and their critical materials—such as lithium, nickel, cobalt, and graphite—is expected to surge dramatically. This makes ...
Medical Xpress / Both heart chambers are more severely affected in atrial fibrillation than previously thought, study reveals
New research findings from the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG) show that both atria undergo profound changes in cases of persistent atrial fibrillation. Until now, the left atrium was considered the primary site ...
Phys.org / Discovery of new fossils in Northwest Canada changes view of early animal evolution
Researchers have uncovered a remarkable fossil site in a remote part of Canada's Northwest Territories, offering unprecedented insight into the earliest evolution of complex animal life on Earth. Findings from the site represent ...
